THE EXPOSITION.

To-day will pre-eminently be the time
to have fun at the Exposition, because
from early morning till late at night the
building will be in charge of that king
of fun-makers, Col. William S. King,
plain Bill King. There is some miSap-
prehension about the fact that every
one has to pay to get in to-day. This
really only refers to those having COM
plimentary tickets. Col. Frank Mead
will have to put up, but Mr. Archibald,
of the Business college, as an exhibitor,
will not. nor indeed need any exhibitor
or emplOye worry their heads in the
least that they will have to put up a
quarter to attend to business tomorrow.
for they will not. The fun will begin at
o'clock, and will consist of races of
animals, women and men. A delega-
tiOn of musicians will be present that
will put Danz' or Liberati's band in the
shade forever, and, in fact, everything
conducive to merriment will be there.
A GREAT PROGRAMME.
In the absence of Col. William S. King
the present management have furnished
the following programme as about what

females. Will Steele; pacing match. f..
r. Barber; grand band concert, George
Hahn; wheelbarrOw race, Charles Chute.
Sublime exhibition of prize animals, land
when the shades of night gather round,
a display of fireworks surprising any
thing ever seen in the Northwest.
There are plenty of more interesting
features, but these are land locked in
the coloneFS mind, and will not be
known till they are unravelled to-day.
This afternoon and this evening every
body must come. No good citizen can
afford to lose seeing this grand repro
duction of how an old county fair was
run. Young and old, rich and poor.
maidens fair and gallant youths, all
must quit the work shop, and the store.
. the school and the home to-day, and
give the grand building a gala adieu on
this its closing night.
YESTERDAYS DOINGS.
Yesterday, as prearranged, good
many stores closed, mills shut down,
and the employees in offices took half
holiday. Consequently the crowd was
quite large one that filled the building
afternoon and evening. No special
features occurred in the afternoon, but
in the evening the second concert of the
Exposition chorus was performed, and
oil n al a
Prof. Danz led and his Organi ZatiOn
acted as the orchestral accompaniment.
Following is the programme:

The concert commenced at o'clock
and lasted Just one hour. 1t attracted a
large crowd of the cultured and educa-
ted class of the people to the music hall
and was one of the most enjoyable
musical events that have been
given in the building so far. Yes
terday. in fact, was particularly
rich in its musical services
In the morningjthe DanZ band gave an
excellent programme, made up of light
opera selections, and the afternoon was
frightened by the tuneful music of
Liberati, the signOr himself playing Du
Liebes' Aug du Liebes Stern, by
Reichart, in beautiful manner.
In the evening they played by request
their grand Wagner programme.
Maj. Fred Brackett was the busiest
man in the whole building yesterday
counting up his voting checks for the
baby show. and as $1,000 people voted,
and each check had to be cut up three
times the major had bigger job than
he wished for, and was again heard to
mutter: II am major, but oh, my!''
Still he manfully wrestled with the job,
and the result will be found below:
